This storm went on to set off storm sirens, dump hail on fans in Rangers Stadium but no serious damage. (Pardon my finger at the end. Darn amateur videographers.)
Now, back to The Garden Conservancy tour and Blue Lotus Gardens.
An Austin, Texas style garden near the heart of Dallas. Cedar style decorative fencing and desert plants in a tall berm to provide quick drainage when all the rain comes.
I know I am going to like this yard. Water provided in this old wash tub.
This is not Dallas, anymore.
A kettle is planted on one of the dead branches of this tree.
Corragated tin walls are currently the rage in Austin yards these days. Could it become mainstream here?
A forest of sedum filled fountains.
Beehives provide the nightstands for the flowerbed.
No backyard would be complete without chickens.
A beautiful rain catchment system.
I think the locals liked the place. Did you?
